NEW YORK, March 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of investors who purchased UTi Worldwide Inc. ("UTi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:UTIW) common stock between December 5, 2013 and February 25, 2014.

The complaint alleges that the Company omitted material facts from their SEC filings and other public statements. In particular it is alleged that UTi failed to disclose that its lines of credit were rapidly depleting. The complaint alleges that the undisclosed liquidity problems were so severe that UTi was forced to engage in a heavily dilutive offering of convertible notes and preferred shares; following disclosure of the Company's true financial situation, UTi's stock fell nearly 30% on February 26, 2014.

If you suffered a loss in UTi you have until May 16, 2014 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.
